Tales from the Dancefloor : Manchester / the Warehouse Project / Parklife / Sankeys / the HacIenda
Manchester Club Scene - Book - by Sacha Lord and L. Bainbridge
(2025)
The must-read memoir from the visionary figure behind Manchester's
legendary music scene, from The Haçienda to The Warehouse Project.
Tales From the Dance Floor is an electrifying journey
into the heart of Manchester’s music culture with its most influential
promoter. Over the past three decades, Sacha Lord has hosted
countless iconic parties, booked legendary DJs, and shaped an
underground scene that influenced a generation.
Working with
iconic acts including the Prodigy, New Order, the Chemical Brothers,
Snoop Dogg, Fat Boy Slim, Andrew Weatherall, Aphex Twin, Four Tet, the
Gallagher brothers and Jamie XX, he has thrown some of the biggest
parties that the UK has ever seen. But it wasn’t an easy
road to get there. As this no-holds-barred account makes clear,
Manchester’s music revolution was fuelled by raw energy, creativity,
enterprise and a number of other unidentified substances.
From
drive-by shootings to gang turf wars and nights out that never ended,
Sacha Lord reveals, at 130bpm, the highs – and lows – of life bringing
some of the planet’s biggest stars to the world’s greatest city.
Featuring makeshift helipads, oysters with Grace Jones and more
drugged-up rats than you could shake a big stick at, Tales From the
Dance Floor is an absolute banger of a book.
